Description

Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.

The method and apparatus of embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The main ideas of the invention comprise: on the premise that the display areas corresponding to different schedule blocks are not overlapped, the display area of the calendar view is fully utilized to provide each schedule block with a display area as large as possible. In order to ensure that the schedule blocks with overlapping time are not overlapped in space, the display column of the calendar view is expanded, a plurality of columns are arranged, the minimum column number required by non-overlapping display of all the schedule blocks is obtained, the display area of the calendar view is divided according to the minimum column number, and the schedule blocks are displayed. The following detailed description of embodiments of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1A, fig. 1A is a flowchart illustrating a schedule display method of a calendar view according to an embodiment of the present invention. The schedule display method of the calendar view includes steps S100 to S300.

In step S100, a schedule creating operation is received, and a schedule block set to be displayed corresponding to the schedule creating operation is acquired.

And determining a schedule block set to be displayed according to the time interval corresponding to the schedule creating operation. For example, a single-day schedule is created, and the set of schedule blocks to be displayed is the schedule including the date; a week schedule is created, the set of schedule blocks to be displayed may be a schedule that includes the week, etc.

In step S200, determining a display boundary of each schedule block in the schedule block set in a first direction; determining a display boundary of each schedule block in the schedule block set in a second direction; the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

The order of determining the display boundary in the first direction and the display boundary in the second direction is not particularly limited.

The display boundary of each schedule block in the schedule block set in the first direction can be determined according to the number of the schedule blocks contained in the schedule block set and the boundary of the area used for displaying the schedule blocks in the calendar view. And determining the display boundary of each schedule block in the second direction according to the time interval of each schedule block in the schedule block set.

In step S300, according to the display boundary in the first direction and the display boundary in the second direction, the display area of each schedule block is determined, and the schedule blocks in the schedule block set are displayed.

Determining the display boundary of the first direction and the display boundary of the second direction is an important process for determining the display result of the schedule block, and a specific implementation form of step S200 will be described in further detail below.

When the display boundary of each schedule block in the schedule block set in the first direction is determined according to the number of the schedule blocks and the display area boundary of the calendar view, all the corresponding schedule blocks can be arranged in a staggered manner according to the number of the schedule blocks, and the display boundary of each schedule block in the schedule block set in the first direction is determined according to the staggered arrangement result. The staggered arrangement refers to an arrangement in which all schedule blocks are arranged without overlapping, that is, when the calendar view is displayed, the display areas of any two schedule blocks are not overlapped. Fig. 1B is a schematic flow chart illustrating that all corresponding schedule blocks are arranged in a staggered manner, and a display boundary in a first direction and a display boundary in a second direction are determined according to a staggered arrangement result according to an embodiment of the present invention. Therein, the following steps S210 to S230 may be included.

S210, setting the same occupation width for each schedule block in the schedule block set in the first direction, and setting the occupation length of each schedule block in the second direction according to the starting time and the ending time of the schedule.

The method comprises the steps of setting N corresponding schedule blocks according to the number N of days in a designated time interval, wherein N is a positive integer, the occupation width of each schedule block in a first direction is the same, and occupation in a second direction is determined according to the starting time and the ending time of the schedule.

Typically, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, thereby indicating the schedule display area. The second direction is used to indicate the time unit of the schedule, which may be, for example, a year, month, day, hour, etc. In some embodiments where time is more subdivided, the second direction may also be in time units of half an hour, 15 minutes, 10 minutes, or even 1 minute, etc. The first direction is used to spatially partition blocks of a temporally overlapping calendar. The position of the calendar block in the first direction can be determined according to the position of the calendar block in the first direction.

The designated time interval may be determined according to the operating status of the calendar software, and may be set to, for example, a time range covered by all schedules, a time range which can be displayed in the current display area, or a time range designated by the user.

For example, referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a calendar block setup according to one embodiment of the invention. Wherein, 5 columns are arranged in the transverse direction as the first direction. The vertical direction is taken as a second direction, each divided period is half an hour, and 5 schedule blocks 11 to 15 are included in total. Obviously, the directions of the first and second directions are interchangeable. Fig. 2 shows a calendar view of a horizontally long display device, for example, a conventional PC display, and a mobile phone with a horizontal screen, which have similar aspect ratios.

It should be noted that, for any aspect ratio, for example, the aspect ratio of the mobile phone in vertical screen use, the overall shape of the schedule display area of the calendar can be adaptively adjusted according to the aspect ratio of the display screen, and the proportion and relative position of the schedule display area of the calendar in the whole calendar display screen can also be adjusted according to needs. The method of the invention relates to the arrangement of the schedule blocks in the schedule display area, and the changes of the shape and the size of the schedule display area, the relative position of the schedule display area and the like do not influence the application of the invention and do not exceed the protection scope of the invention.

S220, pre-arranging all the schedule blocks in the schedule block set to obtain pre-arrangement patterns in staggered arrangement.

Wherein the prearranging comprises: setting one or more than one field in a first direction, wherein the width of each field corresponds to the occupation width of the schedule block; acquiring the minimum column number M required by spatial non-overlapping arrangement of all schedule blocks, wherein M is a positive integer; and arranging all the schedule blocks in the M columns in a non-overlapping mode to obtain a pre-arrangement pattern.

And S230, determining the display boundary of each schedule block in the schedule block set in the first direction according to the staggered arrangement result.

In step S220, one of the purposes of pre-arrangement is to make each schedule block obtain the largest display area, and the schedule blocks are not overlapped. Since the extent of the calendar block in the second direction is determined by the start and end times, the schedule cannot be changed after it is determined. Therefore, a larger display area can be obtained by arranging all the schedule blocks in a non-overlapping way by using the least number of column bits. Two specific pre-arrangement implementation forms of the schedule block are given below, and it is to be noted that, within the scope of the idea of the present invention, a person skilled in the art may also design other specific implementation forms of the minimum column arrangement, or modify the following specific implementation forms to obtain other specific pre-arrangement implementation forms, which will fall into the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flow diagram illustrating pre-arrangement of calendar blocks according to an embodiment of the present invention. Wherein pre-arranging the schedule blocks comprises steps S211 to S214.

In step S211, N fields are set in the first direction, where N is the number of the calendar blocks in the calendar block set, and the width of each field corresponds to the occupation width of the calendar block. The minimum number M of fields required for obtaining the spatially non-overlapping arrangement of all the calendar blocks is realized by the following steps S212 to S213.

In step S212, all the schedule blocks are arranged in sequence along the forward direction of the first direction corresponding to the N columns according to the start time of the schedule blocks, and all the schedule blocks are sorted according to the start time to obtain a sorting result.

According to the reading habit and the aesthetic habit of a general user, if the schedule blocks are staggered, the schedule blocks are arranged from high to low in the left-to-right direction, so that the schedule blocks are convenient to read and meet the aesthetic requirement. Thus, in some embodiments, such as the embodiment of fig. 2, the forward direction of the first direction may be set to a direction from left to right in the display screen, but may of course be set to the opposite direction. At this time, the start time of schedule 1 to schedule 5 is also sequentially delayed from 10:00 to 11: 30.

The schedule blocks with the same starting time can be randomly ordered or ordered according to a certain sequence. For example, the end time may be sorted before (i.e., a schedule with a longer duration), and thus a long schedule block may be prioritized. It is also possible to sort the end time first (i.e., schedule with shorter duration) to obtain another form of ordered arrangement.

In step S213, each schedule block is sequentially used as a target schedule block according to the sorting result, and the target schedule block is translated along the first direction, so that the target schedule block is moved to the field closest to the start position of the first direction without overlapping with other schedule blocks.

Referring to fig. 4A, 4B, and 4C, fig. 4A to 4C are schematic diagrams of a schedule block shifting process according to an embodiment of the present invention. The ordering of the calendar blocks results from calendar 1 to calendar 5. When the target schedule block is schedule block 11 (schedule 1), schedule 1 is already closest to the starting position without moving. When the target schedule block is schedule block 12 (schedule 2), for schedule 2, since the second-direction corresponding position interval (10:30 to 11:00) in column 1 is already occupied by schedule 1, it cannot move to column 1 and does not move. When the target schedule block is schedule block 13 (schedule 3), schedule 3 does not overlap with existing schedule 1 of column 1, and thus can be shifted to column 1. Thereby obtaining the arrangement shown in fig. 4A. When the target calendar block is calendar block 14 (calendar 4), for calendar 4, the area of the second direction corresponding position interval (11:30 to 13:00) of column 1 is occupied, so that it cannot be moved to column 1, and the putting into column 2 does not overlap, so that calendar 4 is translated to column 2, thereby obtaining the arrangement shown in fig. 4B. When the target calendar block is calendar block 15 (calendar 5), the corresponding positions of the second direction corresponding position intervals (11:30-12:00) of column 1 and column 2 have been occupied, so that calendar 5 is shifted to column 3, resulting in the arrangement shown in FIG. 4C.

In step S214, the empty fields without the schedule block are deleted to obtain the fields with the schedule block and the total number M of the fields, and the sorting pattern of the schedule block at this time is used as the pre-arrangement pattern.

Areas without schedules do not need to be displayed, so that by deleting empty fields and only displaying fields with schedule blocks, more display area can be provided for each field containing schedules. For example, in fig. 4C, the field containing the schedule block has 3 fields, the total number M of the fields is 3, and the pre-layout pattern may be the pattern shown in the first 3 fields in fig. 4C.

Referring to fig. 5, a flow diagram of calendar block pre-arrangement according to another embodiment of the invention is shown. Wherein pre-arranging the schedule blocks comprises steps S221 to S224.

In step S221, P initial fields are set in the first direction, where P is a positive integer, and the width of each field corresponds to the occupation width of the calendar block. For example, the number P of initial fields may be set to 1, with the number of fields increasing as the number of calendar blocks increases. Or P may also be set according to the time interval corresponding to the most schedules in all the current schedule blocks, and the number of schedules corresponding to the time interval is used as the number P of the initial fields. Because, at this time, it is obvious that at least P columns can be arranged without overlapping.

In step S22, all schedule blocks are sorted according to the starting time to obtain a sorting result. The schedule blocks with the same starting time can be randomly ordered or ordered according to a certain sequence. For example, the end time may be sorted before (i.e., a schedule with a longer duration), and thus a long schedule block may be prioritized. It is also possible to sort the end time first (i.e., schedule with shorter duration) to obtain another form of ordered arrangement.

In step S223, sequentially taking each schedule block as a target schedule block according to the sorting result, and setting the target schedule block, wherein whether a setting region exists in each current column is sequentially determined, and the setting region is a region which is blank within the starting time range and the ending time range of the target schedule block corresponding to the second direction; if the setting area exists, arranging the target schedule block to the setting area; if the setting areas of the target schedule blocks do not exist in all the current columns, the fact that the number of the current columns is not enough to arrange the existing schedules in a non-overlapping mode is meant. At this time, the total number of the current columns is increased by 1, and the target schedule blocks are arranged in the setting areas of the newly added columns.

Referring to fig. 6A, 6B, and 6C, fig. 6A to 6C are schematic diagrams of a schedule block setting process according to an embodiment of the present invention. To be arranged are also 5 schedule blocks 11 to 15 ordered from schedule 1 to schedule 5 in fig. 2. The initial column bit number may be set to 1. When the target schedule block is schedule block 11 (schedule 1), since no schedule block has been arranged yet, all the positions are empty, and there is a set region in column 1, arranging schedule block 11 to column 1. When the target calendar block is calendar block 12 (calendar 2), 10:30-11:00 in column 1 has been occupied by calendar block 11, and there is no set area in column 1, a field is added and calendar block 12 is arranged to column 2. For the target schedule block 13 (schedule 3), there is a setting area in column 1, and the schedule block 13 is arranged to column 1. When the target calendar block is calendar block 14 (calendar 4), 11:30-13:00 in column 1 has been occupied by calendar block 13, no set region exists in column 1, and a set region exists in column 2, so that calendar block 14 is arranged to column 2. For the target calendar block 15 (calendar 5), since the intervals 11:30-12:00 of the 1 st and 2 nd columns are occupied and no setting area exists, a field needs to be added to arrange the calendar block 15 to the 3 rd column.

In step S224, the number of columns obtained after all the schedule blocks are set is used as the minimum number of columns M, and a pre-arrangement pattern is obtained according to the arrangement of the schedule blocks in the setting operation.

For example, in fig. 6C, the number of columns obtained after all the schedule blocks have completed the setting operation is 3 columns, which is taken as the minimum number of columns M being 3, and the prearranged pattern is as shown in fig. 6C.

In some embodiments, there may be some blank areas in the M columns of the obtained pre-arranged pattern according to the distribution of the schedule block time periods. These blank areas can be utilized to provide a larger display area for adjacent calendar blocks to further display calendar details. Therefore, after all the calendar blocks are pre-arranged in the M columns in a non-overlapping manner, the occupied area of part of the calendar blocks can be further expanded.

Specifically, for each schedule block, whether an adjacent equal-height blank area exists on the forward side of the first direction of the schedule block or not can be judged, if so, the occupied area of the schedule block is expanded to cover the equal-height blank area, and the pre-layout pattern is updated according to the occupied area. Wherein, the equal-height blank areas refer to: the second direction corresponds to the starting and ending time ranges of the calendar block, and the field range of the first direction is adjacent to the current calendar block and has no continuous area occupied by any calendar block.

Referring to FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a process diagram of calendar block footprint expansion, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Since, in fig. 6C, on the right side of schedule block 12 (schedule 2), the corresponding time intervals 10:30-11:30 in column 3 are blank, i.e. there are high blank areas. Thus, the calendar block 12 is expanded to column 3, covering the area corresponding to the respective second direction 10:30-11: 30. An updated pre-layout pattern is obtained as shown in fig. 7.

In step S300, a calendar block is displayed on a calendar view, wherein an area for displaying the calendar block in the calendar view is divided into M fields according to a first direction, and the calendar block is displayed according to a pre-layout pattern.

Fig. 8 is a schematic view of a scene of schedule block display according to an embodiment of the present invention. For the pre-arrangement pattern shown in fig. 7 after the calendar block occupying area is expanded, where the number of fields M is 3, the area for displaying the calendar blocks is equally divided into 3 fields, the width of each calendar block is the same as the width of each field, and the calendar blocks are displayed according to the pattern shown in fig. 7.

It is noted that the process of creation and pre-arrangement of calendar blocks is not visible to the user. Fig. 2, 4A to 4C, 6A to 6C, etc. are only schematic diagrams of procedures shown for facilitating understanding of the method of the present invention, and are not images presented by the display device in the calendar display method. After receiving a new schedule event each time, a new schedule block can be created in the background, and the step of pre-arranging the schedule blocks is executed once, and finally the schedule blocks are displayed according to the pre-arranged pattern.

In order to better implement the schedule display method of the calendar view of the present invention, an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention further provides a schedule display apparatus of the calendar view. Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a block diagram of a schedule display apparatus of a calendar view according to an embodiment of the present invention.
